I thought this was quite an enjoyable build along. Notice the home made fletching jig.

Very interesting and we can be so thankful to live here and have the tools etc that we have. It would have been good if they showed more details like aligning the limbs and tillering etc. She certainly knew what she was doing. Thanks for posting it up Daryl.

Jeff,

I have been watching quite a few videos on making traditional bows in Asia and the bowyers appear to prefer using traditional hand tools.
Perhaps they believe using traditional tools is the way it should be.
